Report Summary

The global gardening equipment market was valued at USD 88.10 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate CAGR of 6.0 % from 2023 to 2030. The expanding elderly population is one of the factors driving the demand for ergonomic products for lawns and gardens. Additionally, higher disposable income and a decline in home prices have led to an increase in real estate developments in all economies. Over the projected period, this trend is anticipated to fuel demand for gardening equipment. Another trend among millennials to turn outside spaces into relaxing spaces with lounges, entertainment areas, outdoor kitchens, and party spots is also expected to augment the market growth. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the market saw a modest decline in early 2020. Lower customer demand for garden and tool equipment and the temporary suspension of store outlets are both blamed for the market's sluggish growth. The impact of the epidemic has been mitigated, though, by a favorable climate, a longer growing season, and gardeners' preference for online shopping. The rules encouraging people to stay at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have also urged people to spend a lot of time at home, propelling the demand for gardening equipment. 

In the first half of 2021, the sudden surge in demand for battery-based tools, including augers, chainsaws, edgers, and trimmers, did not keep up with the production rate. Additionally, OEMs worldwide were experiencing a lack of lithium-ion batteries and semiconductors, which further hindered production. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will reduce demand for gardening equipment powered by gas due to disrupted supply chain operations, raising raw material prices and driving up oil prices. Consequently, OEMs may raise the price of their products. These macroeconomic determinants are anticipated to decrease, but they are likely only temporary.

Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that increasing adoption of DIY landscape projects will propel market expansion. DIY projects are activities made for people from all walks of life, including enthusiasts, hobbyists, and homeowner undertaking projects like repairs, and remodeling that are typically classified as home improvement. The market is expected to do well as a result of rising single-family construction investment and a growing interest in Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects. Given the increasing popularity of DIY projects, garden equipment OEMs are introducing a product lineup that is inexpensive and user-friendly for household use. Garden trowels, spades, shovels, pruners, and other gardening hand tools are required for home renovation projects, and these tools come in a wide variety and have a wide range of applications.

Throughout the forecast period, the market development is anticipated to be aided by the growing popularity of battery-powered ergonomic design tools. Gardening is a laborious task involving digging up the earth, pulling weeds, and trimming shrubs, repetitive stress through these activities can result in chronic back pain. Using garden equipment without proper knowledge, particularly by senior citizens, can cause undue strain leading to inflammation or pain in many body areas, including the knees, wrists, and back. The demand for ergonomic designing tools among professional architects & landscapers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts is anticipated to help the market flourish over the coming years.

A large increase in demand for hand and garden tools was also expected in 2021, owing to seasonality.
